A Yellow Plea
I like how the American goldfinch (Spinus tristis) seems to call out to the chipping sparrow (Spizella passerina) as it departs. It’s almost as if the goldfinch is saying, “Wait, come back — there’s still plenty to eat here.”
Step into a world where even the smallest moments—like the glint in a bird's eye—tell their own story.

Good morning. 🦆🪿🦢
12 September 2026
Charlie just plopped down outside my office door on the wood floor, and I heard every bit of it. The funny thing is, when he walks across the wood flooring — even when there’s a rug — he sounds like a small herd of horses trotting through the house. When my daughter visited last, she kept asking, “Do you hear him?” I guess we’re used to it. To us, it’s a comforting sound.
Anyway, I knew exactly how I wanted to start this morning, but I forgot while I was working on the photograph. Now I’m just hoping the thought circles back.
Oh yeah — productivity.
I’m determined not to turn on the TV in the morning so I can actually get things done. The problem starts at lunchtime. I need to eat, and when I fix my lunch — usually a salad these days — I sit down in my recliner and turn on the news. If the news is dull or just plain depressing, I’ll stream a movie or a show instead. That’s where I get stuck. If what I’m watching is good, I’m already in the chair, already finished with lunch, so what’s the harm in leaning back for a few minutes to finish the episode?
But modern shows always leave some little hook dangling at the end, just enough to make you want to see what happens next. And with streaming services offering entire multi‑season series, it’s possible to get trapped for six seasons straight. I often break the cycle through sheer willpower — reach for the remote and shut the TV off cold turkey. Unfortunately, that usually leads to the next thought: “How about a nap before I get busy?”

Ha-ha-ha-HA-ha
Okay, I know the inspiration for Woody was the acorn woodpecker, but if any real woodpecker looks like him, the pileated woodpecker (Dryocopus pileatus) is the one. This photo even has a bit of a cartoon feel to it. I caught this bird as it burst out of the forest behind my house — I just raised my camera and snapped, almost like skeet shooting. I didn’t even realize what kind of bird it was until later.
